RealView Development Tools

ARM's RealView tools have been the industry standard for many years, and are relied on by a large community of engineers. ARM provides software toolkits, ICE and trace units and high-end development boards. Bluewater Systems offers the entire range of ARM-related products. All products come with a 12 months support and maintenance arrangement, which can be extended annually.

Software Toolkits

ARM has integrated everything you need to develop code for the ARM into a single package. The following software toolkits are provided:

RealView Development Suite - industry standard C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, debugger, simulator with Eclipse IDE
RealView Development Suite Professional - adds NEON vectorising compiler for SIMD media and signal processing, link-time code generation, advanced profiling and real-time modelling

Software Debug Tools

RealView ICE — high performance ICE unit connects your target to your host
RealView Trace 2 — High performance cost-effective trace solution
Fast Models - super-fast software models for Cortex cores as well as ARM9, ARM11

Development / Prototyping Boards

Software toolkits will be required for the Integrator and Versatile range (see above).

Versatile — Hardware and software integration platform based on ARM926EJ-S / ARM11 MPCore / ARM1176JZF-S and high-end FPGA technology

Other tools

Some special products are available for particular markets:

RVCT for Brew 3.0 - a toolkit specifically for Qualcomm's Brew environment

Legacy Solutions

These are no longer sold by ARM, but DesignARM has some stock. Please contact us if you are looking for Multi-ICE, Integrator, etc.

Integrator — Hardware and software integration platform which supports most ARM cores and logic integration using FPGA technology

MultiTrace — high speed 200MHz full address and data tracing
Multi-ICE - the hugely successful parallel port ICE which started the ICE revolution on ARM
ADS - ARM Developer Suite - this is now obsolete but is still available for legacy projects
